Cultural centres

Culture, courses, activities for adults and children, festivals and rooms for hire at the cultural centres for French-, Dutch- and foreign-speakers.

Brussels is a bilingual city where both French and Dutch are spoken. The two linguistic communities each have their own network of cultural centres. That’s why most Brussels communes have two cultural centres – one for each community. But all centres are open to everyone, of course.

The cultural centres run all sorts of cultural and leisure activities for residents, including courses, activities for children and adults, festivals and room hire. They also put together an attractive cultural programme.

For French speakers

iselp (FR), the Higher Institute for the Study of the Visual Arts Language, is the perfect place to discover and explore contemporary art in the Federation Wallonia-Brussels, in Belgium and by international artists. In addition to its exhibitions, ISELP also organises conferences, screenings, symposiums, lectures, guided tours, cultural trips and educational activities.
